Few players have seen as much as Lawson D’Ath has at Huish Park. In the last three years he’s been at the heart of the club through a return to the National League, covid, off-the-pitch turmoil and everything in between. (Yes, we talked referees!)

We were delighted to welcome Lawson on to the Glovers Past for this honest interview about his time in Green and White.

Thank you for your continued support of the Gloverscast. Remember to add Gloverscast.co.uk to your favourites and check the website daily for the latest news and views from Huish Park.

Yeovil Town striker Alex Fisher has said he’s aiming for a return to action in early 2024.

Speaking to the ‘My New Football Club‘ podcast, run by Exeter City fans Jon Beer and actor David Earl, he goes into incredible detail about his double leg break suffered live on BT Sport against Southend United in early April.

In a wide-ranging chat, he talks (in eye watering detail) about the moment it happened, how he had a three hour (!) wait in the Glovers’ physio room waiting for an ambulance and how his rehab is going.

Fisher remains under contract with the Glovers, but it might be the turn of the year before we see him at Huish Park scoring goals again.

On a possible return he said: “Given how bone grows and how it’s so different from person to person, the difference from when you could be back to when the worst case scenario is can be quite big, so, i’m budgeting for January.

“It’ll be October or September when I have the frame off, then it’ll be two more months to get – I can run, but because of the holes that are left from where the pins have been, I’ll be able to run, to do loads of stuff, but if I got hit on it, it wouldn’t have the same structural strength, because of where the pins have been.

“So I’ve got to wait for them to completely heal…”

The striker scored 5 goals in 38 games for the Glovers through the 2022/23 season.

Get well soon, Fish, see you in the new year!

The full Podcast is nearly two hours long, but is well worth your time…..

Yeovil Town has thanked long-serving Yeovil Town Community Sports Trust manager Sara Bradley after she departed her role.

In a statement issued on Friday morning, the club thanked her for her service to the club which began in 1993 when she started working in the club’s tea bars and ended this week.

She had also held roles including managing the hospitality facilities at Huish Park and a stint working as supporter liaison officer when the club was shortlisted for ‘EFL’s Family Club of the Year Award’ for the first and only.

The statement added: “Sara has been the constant at the Community Sports Trust since it’s inception and has been the cornerstone of its operation during this time. The work Sara has put into the Trust has enabled many young people to take part in sport and the wide range of activities delivered by the Trust. Sara has worked tirelessly in her role, often working long into her evenings, plus weekends on a regular basis, to fulfil her passion for the Trust.

“As part of her role Sara has been responsible for the successful application for many community projects, not least the Primary Stars project, where she successfully obtained funding alongside many larger clubs with greater resources available to them.

“Sara has always been passionate about those who work as part of her team and has always focused on their well-being, providing a supportive environment for them to work in.

“It is a testament to Sara’s commitment to her role that has seen large numbers of young people in the area given opportunities for life enhancing experiences by the Trust.

“We would like to take the opportunity to thank Sara and wish her all the best for future.”

The Trust’s football development programme now comes under the recently-launched Yeovil Town Performance Centre. This was been described as “reinvigorating our youth system at the football club” and is being led by Jamie Phillip, the former manager of Yeovil Town Ladies who is now Community and Youth Chief Executive.

His appointment announced last month went on to say the centre would create “a unified pathway for players as young as three years old in the Mini Talent Centres to the top of our youth system, the Elite Player Development Programme for Under-18s.”

However, from looking at the YTCST’s website, it appears such a pathway has always existed, indeed the likes of Under-18s captain Jake Graziano and midfielder Toby Stephens, who is contracted with the first team, have graduated from the Trust’s football development programme in recent years.

We at the Gloverscast are sure we echo the feelings of all Yeovil Town supporters in wishing Sara the best in her future and thank her for her decades of dedication to the club.

Yeovil Town winger Callum Harriott‘s short spell in Somerset has come to an end after the club announced his departure, with both parties agreeing to a mutual termination of his contract.

The news comes after the Gloverscast revealed he had been called up on international duty by Guyana for the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup preliminary rounds.

The 29-year-old originally arrived at Huish Park in March on “a short-term deal” with an option to extend for an extra year at the time SU Glovers, led by Matt Uggla, were attempting (ultimately unsuccessfully) to turn their “stewardship” of the club in to a takeover.

The ex-Colchester United and Charlton Athletic player man did make a small impact in the three games he he did play for the Glovers scoring one goal in the 1-1 draw with Aldershot Town on Good Friday.

All at Gloverscast wish Callum the best in the future.

Wimborne will also face the Bermudan Under 23s national side, which sounds like a far more exciting fixture!

Saturday July 8th – Buckland United (away)
Tuesday July 11th – Wimborne Town (away)
Friday July 14th – Tiverton Town (away)
